NEWSPAPERS.
On the second reading of joint resolu-
ton, from the house, providing an allow
ance of six dailies, or the equivalent in
weeklies, for each member of the house,
the resolution was referred, under suspen-
sion of rules, to the committee on printing,
which shortly after reported it back, NOM
mating that the conncil do not concur.
Mr.. CAIN, chairman Of the committee
on printing, moved a suspension of the
rules, that the resolution might be put on
its third reading and passage.
Mr.. SMITH, while he would vote against
the resolution if it provided papers for this
house, but did not feel that it would be
courteous to the other house to deny what
he understood it had almost unanimously
voted for.
Mr.. CAIN said the committee was in
of the resolution.
Mr.. SHELDON, Of Day, differed with
Mr.. Cain as to the uncertainty of the Ian
guage. 1t was certain that they provided
for papers for themselves only, and that
the language could only be construed to
allow them the papers one time and no
more. This was evidently mistake.
will understand why it is not cOncurred in
and be perfectly satisfied with the result.
Mr.. SMITH, agreeing with MIR. SheldOn's
construction of the resolution, yet had no
doubt of the intention of the house. The
courteous thing, he thought, would be to
amend the resolution that its evident in
tent could be carried out.
Mr.. Hughes moved to refer it back to the
printing committee for further cOnsidera-
tion.
Mr.. CAIN objected. that the committee
had expressed its opinion, and to send the
bill back would be discourreOus to the COM
mittee.
Mr.. McCUMBER thought it would be
extremely discOurteouS to the house to
hasten action for the sake of defeating the
resolution. He objected to suspending the
rules for the express purpose OF killing
the bill.
The motion to recommlt prevailed-14
